What? I made one comment. Not only was parent's comment only loosely relevant to the article itself, but they provided no evidence to support their position, all with an undertone of maliciousness. I'm willing to accept it's a racial issue if you present evidence that reasonably eliminates confounding factors like the ones I brought up. As for the opioid epidemic: I care about as much as I care about the crack epidemic, which is about as much as I can care without having anyone close to me be affected.

They are "making it a racial issue" because the article is about how to best help someone with an opioid addiction, not why people write so many articles about opioid addiction, or why so many people care about opioid addiction, or why the method of dealing with the opioid epidemic seems different than that of the crack epidemic. Parent's comment is, again, only marginally relevant to the content of the article.
